Is it normal to have a charlie horse after a torn meniscus surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post meniscus: Most patients experience some postop calf pain , spasm , cramping. Try gentle stretching or use of heat for 10 min. They typically resolve by the time u r walking normally , usually by 3-4 weeks after surgery
